She, he, they, hey!! Join us for Boobie Pots, a clay workshop celebrating one of nature’s most beloved forms. Big, small, asymmetrical, perky, saggy, ghost-of-boob-past—whatever shape you’re honoring, we love them all.

No clay experience? We’ll set you up for success and you do the rest—play, explore, and create. We’ll fire and glaze your piece in the glaze of your choice, turning it into a fully functional ceramic treasure.

Grab a friend or a tribe of humans who ❤️ boobies. Or come again to add to your collection.
